The Real’s’ Jeannie Mai Jenkins & Jeezy Expecting Their First Child

Jeannie Mai Jenkins revealed that she’s expecting a baby with Jeezy.

Congratulations are in order for Jeannie Mai Jenkins and Jeezy, who are expecting their first child as a couple.

They made the announcement on Monday morning with a spread in Women’s Health.

“Jeezy and I have been kind of saving this and hiding this for five months. So, we’re relieved to finally share the news,” said The Real co-host.

Jeannie revealed that, a year ago, she and Jeezy decided that they wanted to try and start a family. After they got married this year, Jeannie found out that she was pregnant a month into their marriage, but she later suffered a miscarriage. They opted to try in-vitro fertilization. “We both needed a bit of assistance, especially with me being 41 at the time,” she said.

Reflecting on her miscarriage, Jeannie said, “I wondered if I was being punished. I wondered if I’d jinxed myself or cursed myself.” Up until last year, she had been adamant that she never wanted to have kids. She ended up getting a tattoo on her stomach to remind her of the trauma.

“My entire life, I never wanted children. When I say never, I’m talking a hard-stop never,” she said. “Falling in love with Jeezy made me see life differently for myself. Our love is honest, pure, and safe…something I hadn’t felt as a child.”

Jeannie Mai Reveals Pregnancy, Baby Bump on The Real Return

 

On their first date, Jeannie told Jeezy that she didn’t “plan on having kids” with him.

The Real got off to quite the exciting start on Monday, as the show returned for its new season.

Right at the top of the show, cohosts Loni Love and Adrienne Houghton made some pregnancy puns, saying Season 8 was “really poppin'” and they were all “expecting great things” — before Jeannie Mai revealed she and husband Jeezy are pregnant with the couple’s first child together.

“I can definitely say that our real fam is growing, and it’s been really hard to keep all of these secrets for you guys because we’ve had so much to reveal here at the show, including the fact that, I am pregnant!” she exclaimed, before getting out of her chair and showing off her baby bump for the first time.

‘The Real’s’ Jeannie Mai Jenkins Is Pregnant With Her First Child

he Real co-host has announced she and her husband Jeezy are expecting their first child together.

Jeezy and I have been kind of saving this and hiding this for five months,” she tells Women’s Health. “So, we’re relieved to finally share the news.” She’s admittedly a bit nervous, too. Before this morning’s show her co-hosts, Adrienne Houghton, Loni Love, and Garcelle Beauvais, had no idea she’s expecting. But she looks forward to celebrating with them. (And no longer having to conceal her belly—a tough feat for the fashion-lover.)

Jeannie and Jeezy decided they wanted to start a family nearly a year ago, but they struggled to conceive. “It was not easy,” the former Dancing with the Stars contestant says. The couple opted to try in-vitro fertilization (IVF), which was a humbling experience. “We both needed a bit of assistance, especially with me being 41 at the time,” Jeannie explains. But then, just a month before the couple’s March 2021 wedding at their Atlanta home, Jeannie discovered she was pregnant. Soon after, however, she had a miscarriage.

“I wondered if I was being punished. I wondered if I’d jinxed myself or cursed myself,” says Jeannie, because, up until last year, she never wanted to be a parent. “My entire life, I never wanted children. When I say never, I’m talking a hard-stop never.” She symbolized the choice with a tattoo on her stomach. It gave her a sense of freedom and serves as a reminder that motherhood is always her call.
